Peter Cresswell @TomsDad🔁 The Chris Froome Salbutamol saga could be the end of Team Sky | @lawrenceostlere independent.co.ukGlenn Paulley @gpaulley🔁Note to student-athletes: Salbutamol levels are part of normal substance testing in competition. As an asthmatic, I a twitter.com lso know that 2,000 nanograms per millilitre (ng/ml) is A LOT.En la masmédula @kaysersoze1🔁Alessandro Petacchi was handed a 12-month ban in 2007 for excessive use of Salbutamol during the Giro d'Italia & stripped of his five stage wins. The same punishment should be handed to Chris Froome! 🚴Thor @Thorblackcreek🔁So I wrote some stuff about this Froome thing on my website: Thoughts on the dru sportsscientists.com g, the upper limit, the unanswered questions and the possibilities. michael @cittymike🔁If Chris Froome's asthma was so bad in Spain that he had to take DOUBLE the permitted amount of Salbutamol then surely he should have withdrawn from the race.Flaca! @L_N_G_C🔁All those who are ranting about & think they’re experts in doping.

Salbutamol literally helps you to breathe. Yes, breathe. Not win competitions, just to stay alive.

Whatever the outcome of the inquiry, be thankful that you don’t suffer that terrifying feeling.

helen avery @helenhighwater5🔁If you have asthma Salbutamol is reliever not performance enhancer. Ask Botham Scholes or any other asthmatic.

This is the end of movieAryam Contador @AryamContador🔁"There’s no jumping ship. It’s sink or swim time[for team sky]"cyclingnews.comStephen moore @Stephen28780796🔁So you're using massive amounts of salbutamol, but see others using it too & you decide to take even more. Deflection twitter.com at its finest. Or is it worst?Dave McHugh Band @DaveMcHughBand🔁Ah mo chara, life is too short; it's a shite rainy day out, I'm going to leave you with good vibes - if you want to twitter.com wind someone up leave me out of it - hope the asthma is ok - mines not great today - bring on the salbutamol! 😂Thomas Sijtsma @ThomasSijtsma🔁Froome op de bewuste dag met te veel Salbutamol in de urine. Journalist: 100% fit and healthy today again?Froome: I twitter.com felt fine today.Alfred @alfbobadilla🔁So interestingly, after doing some reading it appears that the upper limit of the WADA permitted 24hr dose of Salbutamol of 1600ug resulted in over 60% of subjects exceeded the urine threshold when they cycled to between 2 & 5% dehydration. jimbo* @JKBal4🔁Tom I'm lifelong asthmatic. If I doubled my salbutamol levels for the day, all it would mean is I've had cause to nee twitter.com d my inhaler an extra time in the day. I'm pretty sure this will be a non story.Ron George @RonGeorge_Dubai🔁So Froome and the doc. apparently felt he needed a little extra salbutamol after the to Los Machucos on the 6th of September.

Alfred @alfbobadilla🔁 I thought Salbutamol isn’t banned in motorsport.Dr. Rachel McKinnon @rachelvmckinnon🔁In order for to have the levels he did, he had to take *at least* 3200µg of salbutamol within 24hrs of his test. Tha twitter.com t's at least 16 puffs on a big 200µg puffer or THIRTY SIX puffs on a normal 100µg puffer. That's , not an accident.Alessandro Bedosti @CiclistaPelato🔁The concentration of clenbuterol found in Contador's urine was 50 picograms, 400 times less than the threshold required by a WADA accredited laboratory, but they called him dope, cheat and fraud! What exactly is Chris Froome now doubling the permitted amount of Salbutamol?Nicola Tagger @Freedomfrom78🔁What's stupid about waiting for all the details on something before throwing stones?! Many factors can influence resu twitter.com lts. Salbutamol only improves performance if you are indeed asthmatic and only comparable to levels of near normal in a non asthmatic.David Hewett @DavidHewett8🔁Problem is WADA limit is urine concentration, but salbutamol’s inhaled (a method that’s hard to control). Not easy to twitter.com predict exact rate of metabolism & excretion, esp. factoring in grand tour effects, dehydration etc. Think they just misjudged it quite badly on this occasion.

Luke Burstow @LukeBurstow🔁Actually you can share anything you want to. You can share your medical records around use of salbutamol. There are no restrictions on sharing except for self imposed ones.

Paul @007_Rebooted🔁I dunno. I think that highly aerobic events like cycling tend to introduce asthma to competitors - intake of cold ai twitter.com r over years and years.

But of course, I've read that salbutamol can be used as a masking agent for other drugs.

BUT Leonardo Piepoli got no ban for levels reportedly similar to Petacchi's in 2007.

TheWattmeister @Stravaddict🔁Don't snort...Christmas fragrance... 'Salbutamol' by Va Va Froome. #FroomeDan Barry @dbarlon🔁Sky. Marginal gains.

They are not measured in the same units. twitter.com Inhaled salbutamol is measured in micrograms while urine salbutamol is measured in nanograms. 1 microgram is 1000 times more than 1 nanogram.ioaan @ioaan🔁He used an increased dosage of Salbutamol (still within the permissible doses)As race leader, Chris was tested (...) twitter.com and he declared his use of the medication as part of the process.
